Answer: Option A. "In front of the patient, pointing at his navel"

Explanation:

The X-ray of abdominal cavity is known as Abdominal x-ray. It has same principle as X-ray and uses ionizing radiation to take pictures of inner parts of abdominal cavity such as intestine, stomach, liver and spleen. it is used to diagnose patients with vomiting, unexplained pain, and nausea.

While diagnosing  patient's abdominal cavity, x-ray technician position the camera in front of the patient, pointing at his navel in order to produce a frontal view of abdominal cavity.

Talking about a x-ray machine, it is a compact apparatus which can be taken to the patient in a hospital bed or the emergency room. The x-ray tube connects flexible arm which further extends towards the patient and an x-ray film holder (image recording) plate is placed under the patient.

The technologist will ask the patient to take position on the x-ray table or bed and will position x-ray machine over the abdominal area of the patient, in order to take the frontal view of abdominal cavity. The patient will be asked to hold their breathe to get a clear picture. The technician will turn on the x-ray machine that allows  x-ray machine  to produce a small burst of radiation which passes through the abdominal area and records the frontal view of  patient's abdominal cavity. As a result, soft tissue shows up in shades of gray and air appears black while bones appear white on the x-ray, through which patient can be diagnosed.

Hence, the correct option is A "In front of the patient, pointing at his navel".

If a neurotransmitter attaches to a ligand-gated channel and creates a potential that causes the inside of the excitable cell me
leva [86]

Answer:

If a neurotransmitter attaches to a ligand-gated channel and creates a potential that causes the inside of the excitable cell membrane to become less negative, and this potential travels only a short distance before dying out, it is considered to be a <u>Graded or local potential</u>

Explanation:

<em>Graded potentials, also known as local or generator, are generated by an excitatory neurotranmitter, usually a ligan gated channel</em>, they occur at a localized place on the cell and their potentials are smaller (from 1-50mV) and its magnitude depends on the strength of the stimulus.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

Why are cellular respiration and photosynthesis considered opposite reactions
Andreas93 [3]

Explanation:

They are opposites because they are the same chemical reaction but reversed. Cellular respiration takes glucose (from nutrient/food) and oxygen (from atmosphere) in order to make CO2 (think about exhaling) and H20 (water).

List the cardiovascular and cardiac features unique to the fetus and describe their role in fetal circulation; explain the fate
STatiana [176]

Cardiovascular features unique to the Fetus:

Fetal circulation is characterized by low systemic vascular resistance (SVR) with high systemic blood flow and high pulmonary vascular resistance with low pulmonary blood flow.

<h3>What is fetal circulation?</h3>

The embryonic circulatory system directs blood that needs oxygen through three shunts, or microscopic tunnels. These shunts are intended to avoid forming organs like the liver and lungs while the fetus is still in the womb.

The foramen ovale, which carries blood from the right atrium of the heart to the left atrium, and the ductus arteriosus, which takes blood from the pulmonary artery to the aorta, are the two shunts that bypass the lungs.

Through the placenta, the mother's blood supplies the fetus with nutrition and oxygen. The enhanced blood divides into three branches as it travels via the umbilical cord to the liver.
